response 41 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 26 15:38 UTC 2001

If you consider M-Net's current financial position to be "good," then 
that alone shows you to be undesireable as a Grex board member..  ;)

I'm thinking about it.  Kinda want to, kinda don't think I know what in hell
is going on most of the time.

I'm really hoping that janc reconsiders and lets the voters decide
if he could be of value on the Board.  I'd most certainly like
to see him there.  He's a fine leader.

Have we heard from other yet?  If he doesn't agree to run I'll
break his knees.  Enough said.

I'd very much like to see eeyore run again.  But I won't break
her knees if she decides she'd rather not.

re #49  

That is the most gut-rendingly hilarious backhanded endorsement I have 
ever received.

Yes, but did it *work*?

I would like to see Eric/other stay on the board, because he has 
more real-life experience in the world of non-profit organizations
than all but a few Grexers.

You might say I've made a career of it.  No wonder I'm perpetually only a 
few forethoughts from poverty.

response 55 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 28 19:58 UTC 2001

So I repeat: Eric, are you accepting the nomination?

response 56 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 29 04:36 UTC 2001

I am still contemplating two things. 

1.  Whether or not I will accept, which is dependent on other factors.

2. What the other factors are...

I hope you accept.  I think you did a great job so far.

right now mary, jp2, bhell, and orinoco have accepted their nominations.
thats four candidates for four seats.  nobody else runs and they can
effectively elect themselves just by voting.

I would, Jamie, if I were you.  

Be concerned.  Be terriby concerned.  ;-)

response 61 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 31 00:23 UTC 2001

We could really use some additional candidates here.  
Come on folks, it's your civic duty to help out.  Don't
let the current flood of hostile politics scare you
away from volunteering.  This happens from time to time.
Think of it as the tide.  

How's the knees, Eric.

I think it would be hilarious if Jamie won a seat with zero votes.
Then he could be removed from the board for lack of participation
due to non-attedance.  It would make wonderful theater.

For the first time in several years, I'm in a position to attend
board meetings.  I have been nominated before, by whom I don't
know; I wasn't in a position to serve, and at the time I wasn't
even reading co-op.  I was considering a run, but I'll be darned
if I'm going to ruin this drama that's developing.

response 63 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 31 02:05 UTC 2001

I'm deffinately declining the "honor" of running again.  The last thing I need
to deal with is 2 more years of meetings with the same dead horse carcass
brought along to every bloody meeting to be beaten once again.

You do realize that drama and excitement and scandal in local bbs government
are already easily available, yes?
  Okay, maybe not excitement...

response 65 of 332: Mark Unseen   Oct 31 02:25 UTC 2001

I am just sick of all of this bullshit.  I am sick of having people outshout
each other with the same arguments at several meetings in a row.  It's been
fine lately, but I can already see where it's going from here.  Nope, not
again.

Part of it is that I know that my thoughts on most of this stuff are not
necessarily going to be all that popular.  Fine by me.  But it makes it pretty
easy to be talked around, especially since I refuse to play the shouting game.
Plus, I'm honest enough to say that I don't have the patience to listen to
the same crap over and over and over and over and over and over and over. 
Especially after reading even more of the crap in BBS.  

I think most importantly, I honestly felt that I didn't accomplish crap on
the Bored while there...if it was technical, I didn't understand it worth
crap, and if it was something that had been discussed online, then I was
already sick of it.  I'm willing to admit that my attention span sucks, and
I think that Grex could put somebody more useful in my space.

And I'm sorry for the rambling and grumpiness here, but I'm just really really
really sick of all the arguing here.  And I'm blaming everybody involved, be
it here or in email.  And I'm purposfully trying to keep my mouth shut because
if I start in on it, I will end up screaming.
